I was assuming as much on the secret TT forum. Just playing along.

I am not looking to make the secret TT thing a big deal. But, it is a little strange that pics of the Regulator and KZ "HAVE" been posted by Jerry and Dan. So, while I can appreciate no reviews or certain comments being posted publicly, I would still love to see more pics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> - I LOVE pics! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


I hope those who purchased take the time and effort to thoroughly test and provide as quality constructive feedback as possible (as opposed to making queens out of them or something). It seems like the idea was obviously to use them and help offer design feedback and so should come with some amount of responsibility to do so.

I know you will Vic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> - I appreciate your unbiased reviews and opinions.

I also "Hope" the reviews are given taking into consideration the real world possible uses for these knives.

To me, the KZ should aim to be the ultimate "Chopper". Good for med. to large log chopping and log splitting. I don't really see what else it could be for.
IMO, Kukris by design aren't the best for batoning.

The Regulator appears to be geared and designed for combat personel. I would think it should be (possibly ????) reviewed as such a knife.... keeping military uses in mind.

I don't know for sure. But, I would think Dan and Jerry should maybe dictate some specifics of what they are hoping the knife is best suited for or intended to be used for.

I think some people would likely fault the Regulator (for example)for not having the best "Bush-crafting" abilities. Or not being designed as a good chopper.

Well, it is obviously thick, so toughness is obviously one goal - and not a concern with SR-101 at that thickness (IMO) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

And... it might not chop as well as a SOD, but I don't believe it was designed to chop like a SOD. It WILL chop I am sure. But, I assume it was intended to have a certain "set" of abilities.

I can look at that knife and think what "MY" opinions are of what it should be. But, I think it might be helpful if Dan chimmed in on what he is hoping it to be ideally designed for.


... Am I making sense or rambling incoherently? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
